Like how if I have a river, I can install multiple dams in series to get more energy instead of having just one dam.

You can, but why would you?
In most cases the main problem is not the amount of electricity produced, but the distribution from point of production to point of use.
Blackouts are often caused because the grid is unable to get the electricity to where it is needed as you need wires of sufficient gauge for the entire way.
That’s why distributed electricity generation, where electricity is produced locally (Ex: PV on your roof), is benefitial for the entire grid. It is not really about the amount PV panels produce, but the location.
Building large central plants will make the problem worse if the grid is not updated as well.
